Game Over has released a video for “Break Away”, first single taken from the new album “When Darkness Falls” to be released on September 18 by Scarlet Records.

A furious thrash assault aimed at warmongers, corrupt politicians, and anyone trying to sell obedience as virtue. Packed with razor-sharp riffs, punk attitude, and relentless energy, the track is a call to question authority, reject propaganda, and think for yourself. In a world where those in power openly profit from fear, division, and war, and where greed exposes the evil lurking beneath the surface, this song refuses to bow down and turns anger into pure rebellion.

Game Over took no prisoners with 2025’s “Face The End”, and just a year later their hunger for frantic wild no-mercy thrash metal is even more ferocious.

“When Darkness Falls” pushes the pedal to the metal on heaviness, without ever sacrificing their signature sound – crushing razor-sharp riffs, hardcore attitude, and anthemic choruses designed to be shouted at the top of your lungs.

The world of Game Over continues to evolve, giving form to a landscape populated by the demons and monsters that lurk in our daily lives, drawing heavily from 80s horror cinema aesthetics mixed with a biting sense of humor.

This is thrash metal the Game Over way: don’t stop for nothing, it’s full speed or nothing!

Game Over will re-release the “Burst Into The Quiet” LP on April 17 through Scarlet Records.

A classic 2010s thrash metal cornerstone, “Burst Into The Quiet” was the second studio album for Game Over, and the one that definitely put them in the international map.

Inspired by the classic Bay Area scene, Game Over mixed those influences with modern sounds, a very distinctive personality, and some striking aesthetics. These 9 killer tracks were made of sharp riffs, groovy rhytms and super-fast guitar solos – lyrics ranged from the horror imaginary of the 80s b-movies to social commentary and introspective thoughts.

“Burst Into The Quiet” allowed Game Over to reveal themselves as one of the most solid and credible European bands of the time, starting a path that has now made them a mainstay on the contemporary thrash world scene.

• Second studio album for the Italian manic thrashers, originally released by Scarlet Records in 2014;
• Game Over’s artistical and commercial breakthrough album;
• produced by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio;
• cover & artwork by Mario López (Skeletal Remains, Toxik, Vulture);

A new chapter begins for Game Over and their never-ending lust for thrash metal blood: turning into a five-piece act with the entrance of Danny on vocals and Leo on bass, the band aims to take its sound to the next level both in the studio and live.

“Face The End” is an album with a dual soul: a warning about the Western world’s critical state and a call to face challenges that often mark new beginnings.

The Game Over sound has reached new heights with heavier riffs transitioning from blistering fast sections to crushing mid-tempos and catchy breakdowns. Aggressive vocals, anthemic gang choruses, and subtle synths parts create some eerie atmospheres inspired by ’70s and ’80s horror/slasher films, blending sheer intensity with haunting storytelling. This game is not over yet!

Game Over has released “Veil Of Insanity”, second single taken from the new album “Face The End” to be released on April 25 by Scarlet Records.

What if John Carpenter decided to release a movie where insanity speaks and acts from its own point of view? Unlike most songs where a madman shares his perspective and feelings, this time we side with insanity itself: a personification of evil ready to distort, overturn, and shatter his victim’s world.
